Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEE) was isolated from the salt marsh mosquito, Aedes sollicitans, collected from coastal areas of New Jersey on 3 occasions during the late summer and fall of 1982. The isolations were made at a time when local Culiseta melanura were either undergoing a population increase or exhibiting high levels of EEE virus. Although no human cases were reported during the epizootic period, the data lend support to the hypothesis that Ae. sollicitans is capable of functioning as an epidemic vector in the coastal areas of New Jersey where human cases of EEE have been most common.
1982年夏末和秋季期间，从新泽西州沿海地区采集的盐沼蚊子——骚扰伊蚊中，三次分离出东部马脑炎病毒（EEE）。这些分离是在当地黑尾脉毛蚊数量增加或表现出高水平的EEE病毒时进行的。尽管在动物疫情期间没有报告人类病例，但这些数据支持了这样一种假设，即骚扰伊蚊能够在新泽西州沿海地区充当流行媒介，而该地区是EEE人类病例最常见的地方。
